The main attraction of Sri Lanka is that it is full of gems!

Geographically, Sri Lanka is a small island with a very long history. More than 90% of the rocks on this island are from the Precambrian period, which is ancient, so it has a foundation for precious stones.

90% of the land here is so happy that there is the possibility of breeding gems, and you may kick out a gem as you walk!

Sri Lanka's sapphires occupy an important place in the world's gem kingdom, in addition to sapphires, tourmaline, ruby, cat's eye, spinel, topaz, garnet, amethyst, moonstone and other precious colored gemstones. In addition to the blue sapphire, there are also rose-like pink sapphires, Sri Lanka's unique orange sapphires, and so on.

Originally, Chinese people love jade the most, to what extent? The national character is a simplified Chinese character, which is jade in the box, which is for the country, which shows the status of jade in the country.

But in recent years, under the influence of the leader, the people of the southeast province are no longer limited to jade, and their interest in colorful gemstones has increased significantly----- and the leader's wives and concubines wear all kinds of gemstone necklaces, gemstone rings, gemstone headdresses, etc., which are very beautiful.

The leader pretended that he had invested all his money in military spending, the welfare of his people, and the country's investment, so that he had no money to buy expensive jade for his wife and concubine, so he had to wear some worthless pebbles.

However, the leader's wife and concubine were worn out, and immediately led the fashion, and all kinds of gems were popular in the southeast mansion, and even affected the Ming Dynasty, and then the Wa Kingdom, Korea, Annam and other small countries were affected.

Even iron-blooded athletes like Hong Xiguan have to go to Gem Street to get some gems so that they can pay their wives and concubines after returning home!

Colombo's Gem Street is a concentration of gems that has emerged with the rise of the gem trade in recent years, and people selling gems can be seen everywhere on that street.

There are not many buyers there, but there are people of all colors, such as Hongmaofan, Chinese, West Asians, Asan, Aborigines, and so on.

The colorful pebbles, most of which are unpolished source stones, are placed in piles on the stalls, and everyone is dazzled and has no choice.

At this time, Song Yucheng, a Chinese villager who led them here, recommended himself and said: "Sir, come and have a look in my store!" ”

Song Yucheng is a native of Tingzhou, Fujian, and a veteran of the Southeast Army ten years ago!

After retiring from the army, he has been working hard in Southeast Asia, living in a fixed place, wandering around, nearly two years ago, arrived in Sri Lanka, found a business opportunity, and opened a store on Gem Street.

It is rented, the store is not big, a counter, the width of the space inside the counter is half a meter, and the counter is half a meter wide, and the gems are displayed, and the outside of the counter is one meter wide.

Song Yucheng showed the best sapphires, his sapphires are pure in color, gorgeous and pleasing to the eye, with moderate chromaticity, with purple and blue as the best, which is the famous cornflower blue, which is very beautiful.

It also shows the golden green cat's eye, that is, the color-changing cat's eye, with the different light, its color changes, so that everyone is amazed.

There is also Ceylonite, a gemstone that is colorless and has a sparkling colour like a diamond!

……

Song Yucheng introduced a variety of gemstones to everyone and made a lot of business!

"Sir, this pile of gems of yours is worth one hundred and twenty Spanish silver dollars!" Song Yucheng said bluntly: "One hundred silver dollars is the cost price, twenty silver dollars is my profit, and my gems are all true!" ”

"It's worth it!" Hong Xiguan was very satisfied with this pile of gems, heavy and shiny, and one of the sapphires the size of a pigeon's egg was the treasure of Song Yucheng's town store, and he bought it!

"Do you accept the banknotes of the Southeast Mansion?" Someone asked.

"How can you not accept the leader's money, how can you not listen to the leader's words!" Song Yucheng said quickly, which made the officers very happy, and they were happy to pay.

The officers almost cleared all the gems in Song Yucheng's store, and even the source stone was swept away, and Song Yucheng has been open for five years!

Even after a few hundred years, Sri Lanka's gemstone production is still very large, and it has not been exported in large quantities to the rest of the world, and the price is quite low.

The key is that Song Yucheng is very frank, what is good goods and what is bad goods, one price for one goods, everyone buys inferior goods at a low price, and understands in their hearts that you are willing to do it, it is very comfortable.

Knowing that the life of Chinese abroad is not easy, Hong Xiguan said: "Take a pen and paper!" ”

"Wait!" Song Yucheng was pleasantly surprised, and immediately rushed to the grocery store opened by the Chinese on the adjacent street to get the best lake pen and rice paper.

Hong Xiguan let the pen be dipped in ink, and wrote three big characters on rice paper: "Jewel Song!" ”

Seeing the strong and powerful handwriting, the people around him were full of praise, and Song Yucheng's hand holding the rice paper trembled even more.

Feeling satisfied, Hong Xiguan took out his private seal and stamped it.

The Southeast Army has requirements for officers' "national studies", and all officers often have training, both military training and moral education, such as "loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety" and "pure and pure gentleman" in Chinese studies, which are used to beat the officers to understand.

The "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" in Chinese culture was implemented among military officers, at least proficiently, and Hong Xiguan had made great efforts in calligraphy.

He gave this painting to Song Yucheng, and said: "The leader's teaching, to be honest, not to sell fakes in business, not to tell lies, a gentleman loves money, and takes it in a good way!" ”

"You and I will remember together!"

Song Yucheng took a deep breath and said, "I have listed the general's teachings as a family motto and passed them on from generation to generation!" The word "general" is my family heirloom, if you can't do it, you are not qualified to have this word! ”

"Good!" Hong Xiguan nodded, and left with the other officers.

After that, Song Yucheng continued to operate in the gem trade, he told the truth, sold genuine goods, achieved great success, and became a famous gem merchant in Sri Lanka, and the name of "Gem Song" became famous.

And Hong Xiguan and the others continued to wander around after completing the task, and they found that the food in Sri Lanka was not very good---- so of course, there was no meat, as for the red hairy fan, they would cook?

Sri Lanka, located at the equator, is a paradise for tropical fruits, and there are countless types of fruits.

Walking through the streets, you will definitely be attracted by the various shapes and colors of fruits, and the streets and alleys are full of fruit stalls selling rare and exotic fruits; Even on the country roads, there will be scattered fruit stalls, which are randomly spread on the ground for foraging people to enjoy.

In fact, many Sri Lankans who believe in Buddhism eat less rice and eat fruit for a living!

The officers ate a lot of fruit and couldn't walk, so they stood on the roadside stalls.

At this moment, two sturdy-looking Sri Lankan natives sneaked over, showed a small bag, and asked in stiff Chinese, "Do you want gems?" ”

The officers were amazed at the sight of the brilliant gems!
